eye roll I'm so ignorant. My CompE Master's and my previous work in vision-based AI collision detection systems has left me woefully unprepared to have educated and qualified experience for this exact topic.
I never mentioned children, don't put words in my mouth. Keep deflecting.
Here you go: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/10/tesla-autopilot-crashes-elon-musk/
Nifty: https://www.tesladeaths.com/
I'm sure the 17+ dead human lives really appreciate this "protection".
Maybe "results" wasn't the right word. Dismissing the findings of engineers close to the technology might fit better, but I'm definitely calling the number of fatalities and accidents caused by Autopilot as results of Autopilot and therefore Tesla.
It is not my intention to attempt to change your mind on this technology though, I'm just pointing out your anecdotal experience is not significant and dismissing the findings of engineers close to the technology due to your own biases is incredibly ignorant. This mindset is harmful whether you accept that or not.
Best of luck and good day.
Why the accidents happen is not why I commented. I'm not going to argue if the assistance system is responsible or the driver is, that's a different argument and it's my fault I let it get to this point.
Says the person that literally drives a Tesla with Autopilot, as claimed in your parent comment. "Bias: A statistical sampling or testing error caused by systematically favoring some outcomes over others." You've favored your own 10k+ miles over an ex-Tesla employee and refuse to accept reported data. Funnily enough, your narcissistic anecdotes are another type of fallacy related to your confirmation bias.
Let's revisit why I commented again:
Your ignorance is due to you believing your personal anecdotal evidence is qualified in any way to dismiss Autopilot issues as an experiment.
You've drawn a conclusion using fallacious information. That's it.
Bless your heart, sweetie.
Let me check where I first commented on the article. Oh...I didn't, just on your anecdotal evidence. I tried to give some frame of reference for your "proportion" which devolved into discussing responsibility for the deaths. Not my intention with my parent comment reply.
I'll start letting everyone know their anecdotal evidence is more than enough to start dismissing other qualified claims then. This is going to revolutionize science and reality!
Oh babe, it's completely obvious. I just wish arguments from anecdotes were more obvious.
Edited to remove potentially identifying information.
I don't have to have knowledge of Tesla's exact implementation to know how a LIDAR based autonomous system works. How absolutely insulting and asinine. What we reverse engineered was plenty eye-opening for how "different" and "state-of-the-art" their technology really is. It's more experience than you have with such a system.
I'm very much 100% confident I am more knowledgeable than you on this topic. 🤣🤣
